I have lost so many characters in precisely that manner. Maybe I should try to orient myself such that when I fall asleep, I don't do it on the keyboard.

Yeah. I consider it one of the great rules of Nethack: DO NOT PLAY WHEN YOU'RE TIRED. It always leads to YASD.
I don't play as often now, but I tend to play better when I do, and it's a lot less frustrating, to bootIn Fantasyland these are remarkable in that they seldom or
never wear out and are suitable for riding or walking in
without the need of Socks. Boots never pinch, rub, or get
stones in them; nor do nails stick upwards into the feet from
the soles. They are customarily mid-calf length or knee-high,
slip on and off easily and never smell of feet. Unfortunately,
the formula for making this splendid footwear is a closely
guarded secret, possibly derived from nonhumans (see Dwarfs,
Elves, and Gnomes).

I used to force myself to stop every few thousand turns for a break, but that just meant I forgot what I was meant to be doing and died shortly afterwards.

When I'm too tired I 'S' and take a break. The problem is when I reload the game after a few days and I forgot what I was up to (generally between Dlvl 1 and 5), which lead to YASD.

Yeah. I try to take notes, and when I save I usually type in what I was planning on doing. When I reload the game I go through my notes and inventory so I can refresh my memory on what to be terrified of and which way I was heading. :)

Wow. Esk and Crawler said the same thing.

Suggestion. Draw in the sand.

Me too, Grognor.

And everyone, make sure you keep cockatriceOnce in a great while, when the positions of the stars are
just right, a seven-year-old rooster will lay an egg. Then,
along will come a snake, to coil around the egg, or a toad,
to squat upon the egg, keeping it warm and helping it to
hatch. When it hatches, out comes a creature called basilisk,
or cockatrice, the most deadly of all creatures. A single
glance from its yellow, piercing toad's eyes will kill both
man and beast. Its power of destruction is said to be so
great that sometimes simply to hear its hiss can prove fatal.
Its breath is so venomous that it causes all vegetation
to wither.

There is, however, one creature which can withstand the
basilisk's deadly gaze, and this is the weasel. No one knows
why this is so, but although the fierce weasel can slay the
basilisk, it will itself be killed in the struggle. Perhaps
the weasel knows the basilisk's fatal weakness: if it ever
sees its own reflection in a mirror it will perish instantly.
But even a dead basilisk is dangerous, for it is said that
merely touching its lifeless body can cause a person to
sicken and die.
